Martin Parr







In my trip to Krakow, I visited the nation gallery and there was an amazing exhibition of British photography fron the 80's. The photographers are most definately really famous but I have only experienced them and the work of Martin Parr was definately my favourite. An unflinching and nostalgic look at how we celbrate summer seems only fitting when the sun is making a cameo appearance at the moment!
p.s. I couldn't help but be struck by how little we have moved on fashion wise from the 80's. Is it a bit werid that each decade can so much be recognised my their fashion (the hideous patterns of the 70's, the shoulder pads of the 80's ect) yet I couldn't give one thing that would identify the noughties? How sad.
